The Tiptoeing Tiger

Everyone in the forest knew that tigers were sleek, silent, and totally terrifying … but no one took any notice of Little Tiger.

From the creator of The Black Rabbit and How to Catch a Mouse comes the story of Little Tiger, a small tiger who thinks he is sleek, silent and totally terrifying, but just can’t seem to scare a single animal in the forest! He’s just a little too … well, little. He’s determined to prove himself, though, so sets out on tiptoe, creeping through the forest to find someone to scare. Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe… Roar! But will he find anyone to scare?

• Every child who has ever crept up behind someone and shouted “roar!” will enjoy this utterly adorable story with a gentle final twist.

• Perfect for children who long to be bigger than they are; who just want to be one of the “big kids”…

• Philippa’s bestselling Black Rabbit has been translated into over 12 languages worldwide.
